I'm an aunt

My parent's dog Cookie had puppies! I may be an only child but when there is a dog in the family, well, they still count.

So Cookie is a terrier mix and the hyperiest (yes, it's a word) dog we've ever had... ever. She's also super sweet and loves mom and dad as much as they love her. And on Friday night she gave birth to her first set of puppies. I have to admit, I was pretty surprised when Mom told me. Apparently Dad knew but kept it quiet. Punk. I was mostly surprised because before this year Cookie hadn't had any puppies. She's already five years old. Typically dogs are good and knocked up within the first two or three, so you can imagine my surprise when here we are at five (that's what 35 years in dog years) and she's having pups! I never thought she was really capable of it. Since she never had any before I assumed she was sterile. But maybe, our little Cookie was just picky. Who knows?!? Then again, before a couple of months ago, I'd never seen any "boys" over... and sure enough there was a little chihuahua hanging around. Leave it to Cookie to wait for a Latino to get in her "pants".

In any case, here were are - two puppies later. They are SUPER cute, and yes I am biased. One is similar in coloring to her... a girl, black w/brown paws and face and the other is a boy, white with tan spots all over. My parents are currently planning on keeping them, but we shall see. Surely there is a family out there in need of an adorable puppy - but if I know my mom she's already attached and they ain't goin' nowheres.

Happy days though. You just gotta love puppies. :)
